Might be a little bit harder to do that; they don't currently have a comparable automatic movement to the original, and even if they did, it would cost well over $1k. I don't think they have a suitable mecha-quartz movement on hand either.
WOOOOAH MWC IS GETTING WATCHES FROM SEIKO?!?! Freaking SEIKO!!!! WOOOOAH! That is freaking amazing Russell!!!! And I absolutely love this watch. Very handsome timepiece. 😍😍 also I’m so glad you clarified the 5 distinctives of the Seiko 5. I only found that out recently. Great watch! Great review!
Saw the review last nite & today...the date of the release...I was at the GS Boutique collecting my SBGV245 just back from polishing in Japan. Tried on the new 55th Anniversary & immediately bought it. This is the coolest Seiko 5 I've ever seen. Extremely comfortable too. Definitely a winner. If it wasn't for the review I would have missed it!
I tried it on my wrist last week. The case is lovely. I nearly bought it but ended up getting my second and so completing my seiko 5 sports peanuts collection.
I live in China and I purchased mine last week from the Seiko flagship store for CNY 2450. About 266 GBP. I must say that it’s really a nice watch and in my opinion it’s worth the price.
I showed this to my wife now. She said she doesn’t quite like it because it looks like something an astronaut would wear. Made me want to buy it instantly 😂
Great review. Just pre-ordered one. For anyone interested Arizona Fine Time is taking pre-orders. I only mention this because I was having a hard time finding a shop outside of the US still taking pre-orders.
This is a brilliant release. I have no complaints about this watch, but I do hope they spread the cost of redeveloping the case out by releasing a new limited edition of the blue version of the original. I don't know if you've seen it, but I really love that one. It's always a treat when your wife actually likes a watch too.
I bought mine 2nd hand on eBay (never worn) for £300 and I couldn't be happier. Most of my watches are chunky divers and this is a lovely change for me. Felt a bit small compared to my other watches at first but it's actually perfectly sized. Love the bracelet as well but I ordered a milanese this evening to see how that looks. Would love for them to do the pogue too. 5 sports speedtimer chrono from the 60's/70's would also be amazing
Been looking for a vintage Seiko ever since I visited a little vintage shop in Camden Market a while ago. They had a couple of Seiko King Quartz and few Seiko 5's from the 60's and 70's. Something about the design just appealed to me. As soon as I saw this watch, I knew I needed to buy it, and buy it I shall...and probably the Pogue if it comes out next year.
love re-issues, particularly when they are not tiny. This is a great size, not oversized by todays taste, or that 2010's fad, nor undersized by modern taste like many watches from pre-2000.
Ohhh! Great video. I've already pre-ordered the watch a few weeks ago. Had a message to say it will soon be on it's way. After seeing review, can't wait!
Only started watching your channel in the last couple of months as I have started collecting watches again, must say I love the enthusiasm and the down to earth approach. Just love Casio (got a couple I used to own as a teenager and love them to bits, AE1200 Royale is on the wrist right now) and Seiko, well always wanted one.....this video inspired me to get a SRPK17, been damn hard to find one though as they as I was a bit late to seeing this and they have understandably sold like "hot cakes". Found a new one from a US website SEIKO dealer, it's on it's way, should be getting it in the next couple of days.....exciting....thanks MWC 🙂👍
I love this! What a great reissue! They’ve nailed the look and it’s really exciting to imagine the potential of that case. Like you said, a Pogue reissue can’t be too far away, right 🙏 Even the packaging looks amazing too! I think I’d prefer a modern clicky bezel to go with the updated movement but you can’t have it all. What a great show 👏👏👏👏
I got one. The nice thing about the friction fit bezel and lack of chapter ring (polished rehaut) is that this is the first Seiko I’ve owned that doesn’t trigger my OCD. 😂
Hello my friend! You’re talking about a watch with an SKX case decorated to look nice. This is an exclusive case, bracelet and dial. They’ve made one of these commemorating the 55th anniversary of the 1st Seiko Sports that looked exactly like this. Now the movement is the same but this one is special my friend
Received mine two days ago ,tried to buy an original scratched 1968 version of ebay!! Glad I waited, absolutely fantastic re-model,can't stop looking at it and £350 bargain.
Russ, I love watching watch videos, and I am an insufferable Anglophile. So, I can’t help but smile as I watch your vids. And, of course, you have a perfect taste in watches, which is almost identical to mine! Thanks for the delightful diversion.
Ah, so this IS it. Yea. I saw this on Seiko’s site about a month ago… still shopping through various shops online to get best deal for a pre-order. Definitely was instantly inspired to hunt for this one. My last Seiko was actually the equally retro Kamen Rider Seiko 5 anniversary model that came out earlier this year which revived a different 70s Seiko 5 model style (but not quite a true reissue).
@@ohhenry2 the actual price that I’ve found hasn’t fluctuated (it sits around $400-415ish USD) so what I’ve been trying to shop around is shipping differences. I haven’t settled on a pick just yet.
@@Paperfiasco Same here: Sadly, Francis & Gaye doesn't ship to the States, but I've found two Stateside retailers taking preorders. Still checking for the best deal.
Mine arrived today and I finished adjusting the metal bracelet. It fits nice on my small wrist and feels comfortable. This is my second metal bracelet watch and my first series 5 Sports. My bezel is bi-directional unlike what Seiko USA says (uni-directional) in the specs. Love the groovy 60’s design and this watch is made in Japan. Cheers! 😊
Bugger! Just when I was about to pull the trigger on a W10 vintage pilot watch… you had to show me this! I’ve been on the look out for a watch that was popular in the year I was born (1969) or there abouts… and this might be near enough. And the fact it has an anniversary this year might just push me over. I’m not usually a fan of this clickety-click sub dial, but this looks so gorgeously vintage, I think I could be persuaded on that point too! It’s all your fault #madwatchcollector - thanks to you my g-shock habit is quite bad/good. And now there’s this puppy! AAAAND… you drop in the idea of that 1969 model that may or may not be on the way next year! Gonna need another watch box!! 😂
Good show MWC.😊 HOPE your right about the pouge. My favourite Seiko ever, It sits proudly atop my entire collection. Don't wear it as much now as terrified of damaging the beauty. I will hold out buying this new release just in case the Pouge comes to fruition.
Cracking video, lovely to see unbridled enthousiasm. Where you and I clash over the re-purposed SKX, we now clash over shrouded lugs. I just can't deal with them. :) Which is a shame, because otherwise this is a lovely watch. For sure, it begs for a sapphire modification, but apart from that it's beautiful. Sadly, I won't wear it if I buy it. Shrouded lugs, you see.
If we get a Pogue reissue, and that is a very big IF. it's not gonna be cheap. it would have to be a mechanical chrono. seiko's Chronos go for around 2k -3k referring to the automatic speedtimer. I doubt people would accept a solar or mecaquartz movement in the Pogue reissue as it goes against what the Pogue was. Also there in no chrono with the Pogue configuration in seikos catalogue as far as I know so this means they would need to make a new movement or modify something like the 8R48 perhaps. The way I see it the only way to make a successful reissue would be to literally bring back that movement used in the 6139 with a day date changing function unlike the original push change action...idk
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR I should add that it was $175 USD in the states at Costco. I know the Seiko 5 sport line divided the collecting community, but at that price I couldn’t pass up. Costco also had the Seiko Tank in gold and a Hamilton field. Impressive/surprisingly good selection, imo!
I always wanted a Pogue, but this fits my black bezel/dial collection. I put down a preorder moments ago. Thank you for making me aware of this release!
I stand by what I said earlier. It's a gorgeous watch but not 350 quid gorgeous 😂Seiko are very crafty with their marketing. A limited Edition of 15,555 😂I own several Seiko 5 Sports models including the SNKP23a Seiko Recraft with identical specs to this one. 4R36, Hardlex etc. It cost me about 130 GBP. Haven't paid more than that for any of my Seiko 5 Sports models. I love what they have done here, kudos to Seiko for staying faithful to the original design. People will go mad for this one . If the Wife has succumbed to the madness, all hope is lost 😂😂😂 Awesome video Russ, Always a treat! ❤
I own this watch now and want to warn the small wrist crowd. I have a 6.5" wrist and this bracelet will not drape or wrap properly. The thing was genuinely tight on my wrist and there were still gaps. There is not much flex or rotation in the links on this one at all. I have a very oval or rectangle shaped wrist so if yours is circular it would probably be fine. I don't care because I already had something in mind for it when I saw it but, it's something to think about.
OMG what a 'heads up'! Another super entertaining review - And I only just noticed - you call your video a 'show' - perfect! Generally, I'm not a Seiko 5 fan (except originals). I'm still hung up on the demise of the 200m specs, 'get over it' yes I am trying, and I have got a couple. But this is on another level! It's a REAL Seiko 5! Love it! Shall I / shan't I? I don't know, I'm trying to 'cut down' you see..(but just unboxed a new watch today).. BUT the prospect of a Pogue next year - I'm missing a good original and REALLY want this - if it happens - what foresight you have (I hope)!! Thanks again for the 'Show'! Best from Perth Australia!
More than the watch I liked the way you presented it in the video. Very infotainment! The watch also is good better than the smart watches. Keep making the awesome videos. Love from India.
Was convinced I commented on this video.. love the watch and looking at ordering one as I love my 70s Seikos. To set the record straight though first Seiko 5 was 1963 Sportsmatic and not this model.
@@ChristianDesmarais it has the 5 shield printed on , I own one, also in the Seiko museum website as the first Seiko 5. It’s actually common knowledge. The 5 does not have to have an embossed 5 badge many models it was printed on. Just Google first seiko 5 and first link will be Seiko Museum. This model in the video is the first seiko 5 “Sports” watch which was 5 years later on.
Great review Russ, definitely a stunner and it got your wifes seal of approval! I have been shying away from Seiko for sometime, but I might just add the SRPK17K1 to my collection.
I did jump on the pre order wagon to be honest as soon as I saw it. The crown is painful to operate, the hand winding is inoperable unfortunately but hey.. seiko samba time! I wish the crystal would have a bit more dome to it. The rest is awesome!
Have you seen the SNE573P1. Just got one as part of a watch collection I bought from a student who can’t take them home. Originally he had 10 solar/ light powered watches but he decided to keep 2 of them and had promised 1 to a friend. So I bought the other 7. 2 Casios. 4 Citizens and this Seiko. 38.5 mm sapphire crystal and solar powered prospex diver. Tried to find out what bezel insert is as looks ceramic but not sure.
Cool!!!! I would say most definitely not ceramic! It’s under 500 bucks and not even SPB143’s get ceramic. Possibly brushed steel ? It’s a great size though!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR it looks exactly like the material on my king turtle and that is definitely ceramic. It’s listed at £460 and I got 6 other light powered watches all in as new condition for a total of £640. A right bargain.
they must do a Pogue reissue !
Might be a little bit harder to do that; they don't currently have a comparable automatic movement to the original, and even if they did, it would cost well over $1k. I don't think they have a suitable mecha-quartz movement on hand either.
@@waffle911yes an auto chronograph is quite expensive, maybe go solar for the new Pogue?
Im in!
They did release a revised version of the Pogue a few years ago....Seiko SSA331. Not the same but similar
YES!!! I would buy one 5 minutes ago!!
If they do it right, it’s an instant purchase for me. 😄👍♥️

Great watch and hopefully a start of reissue models. Thanks for your time and sharing this with us all.
Great review. Just pre-ordered one. For anyone interested Arizona Fine Time is taking pre-orders. I only mention this because I was having a hard time finding a shop outside of the US still taking pre-orders.

Sure it is, because when she dislikes it, you are off doing chores to get back into her favor (or sex, if you will).
If this one sells as fast as I believe it will, you can almost bet on their releasing one in blue (and maybe a few more colors at that).
😅😅
Awesome. I should get one since I was born in 68. Wearing my Seiko 5 field watch today. Great video as always.

I did jump on the pre order wagon to be honest as soon as I saw it.
The crown is painful to operate, the hand winding is inoperable unfortunately but hey.. seiko samba time! I wish the crystal would have a bit more dome to it. The rest is awesome!
Congrats my friend
Have you seen the SNE573P1. Just got one as part of a watch collection I bought from a student who can’t take them home. Originally he had 10 solar/ light powered watches but he decided to keep 2 of them and had promised 1 to a friend. So I bought the other 7. 2 Casios. 4 Citizens and this Seiko. 38.5 mm sapphire crystal and solar powered prospex diver. Tried to find out what bezel insert is as looks ceramic but not sure.
Cool!!!! I would say most definitely not ceramic! It’s under 500 bucks and not even SPB143’s get ceramic. Possibly brushed steel ? It’s a great size though!
@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR it looks exactly like the material on my king turtle and that is definitely ceramic. It’s listed at £460 and I got 6 other light powered watches all in as new condition for a total of £640. A right bargain.
